The first episode after Dr. Hahn just got in her car and never came back to Seattle Grace featured an "accordioned homeless guy," introduced Melissa George as Meredith's sexy, edgy friend Sadie and marked the return of Denny ... as a ghost haunting Izzie. Why does Jeffrey Dean Morgan always play the dead guy on TV shows? The TV Geek Out Geeks marvel at the truly strange territory Grey's Anatomy is venturing into.

TV Geek Out 32: 30 Rock, "The One with the Cast from Night Court"
The TV Geek Out Geeks would prefer to remember this episode as the one with cameos from some of Night Court's biggest stars than the one guest-starring Jennifer Aniston. To be fair, her game performance proved that she is a TV star first and foremost. Ken-doll had his biggest wish come true, we got tons of insight into Liz's views on relationships and sex, and the TV Geek Out Geeks are ready to start up a franchise of Aquarium nightclubs. Also, the Soup du Jour of the Day is piping hot!

TV Geek Out 31: True Blood, "To Love Is to Bury"
Lots of things came full circle on the penultimate episode of True Blood's first season -- namely, Jason and Amy's doomed relationship and the reveal of just who the killer plaguing Bon Temps really was. However, just as many stories and characters were set up or turned on their heads: "Freelance social worker" Maryann seems too good to be true, and newly-made vampire Jessica is less about God-fearing and more about hell-raising, much to Bill's chagrin. Oh, and Sam and Sookie almost kiss. It's these kinds of wild mood swings and mysteries that have the TV Geek Out Geeks already missing the show.

TV Geek Out 30: House, "The Itch" and "Emancipation"
TV Geek Out Geek Dana continues to school us on House's fifth season, giving us the skinny on "The Itch," which starred character actor extraordinaire Todd Louiso as an agoraphobic, and "Emancipation," which featured a 16 year-old whose arsenic poisoning was the least of her problems.

TV Geek Out 29: Heroes, "It's Coming"
Heroes went back to the present with "It's Coming," but Hiro regressed to his 10-year-old mentality, and once again, it's all about Claire being special ("save the cheerleader, save the powers"?). Despite some cool scenes -- most of which involved Parkman, Daphne and Angela Petrelli -- the episode still lagged. "It" might be coming, but the TV Geek Out Geek's patience is definitely leaving.

TV Geek Out 25: True Blood, "I Don't Wanna Know"
"I Don't Wanna Know" found most of True Blood's characters in major denial -- almost as much denial as the TV Geek Out geeks are in about the fact that the show's first season is almost over! It's gritty, it's bleak and it's often sad (poor teenage shape-shifting Sam!) We also learn that Bill has a loofah, what ipecac does and get a few more clues as to who the killer might be. The TV Geek Out Geeks don't wanna know about evil, they just wanna talk about it all.

TV Geek Out 28: Gossip Girl, "The Magnificent Archibalds"
Even though "The Magnificent Archibalds" had a kidnapping plan courtesy of Nate's dad and the revelation that Bart Bass is keeping his entire family under surveillance, it was a surprisingly low-key Thanksgiving for our favorite Upper East Siders. Maybe it was an early case of turkey coma? The TV Geek Out geeks heat up the Gossip Girl leftovers.

TV Geek Out 27: The Office, "Business Trip"
Michael, Oscar and Andy's jaunt to exotic Winnipeg in "Business Trip" resulted in some of the season's biggest developments. Andy was back to first base with Angela, Ryan and Kelly are back together, and Michael is alone again, naturally. Did Pam "come back the right way?" Was Darryl happy about his breakup with Kelly? Are butt-themed jokes a running gag this season? The TV Geek Out Geeks enjoy some "bad decisions in a glass" as they discuss these issues and more.

TV Geek Out 26: Pushing Daisies, "Oh Oh Oh ... It's Magic" and Dirty Sexy Money
Things get a little emotional as TV Geek Out geeks Dana and Heather discuss "Oh Oh Oh ... It's Magic," and that was even before we heard news that our beloved show was canceled. The news couldn't have come at a more bittersweet time, since this was one of the second season's best episodes, with spectacular magic tricks, fraternal bonding and some terrific cameos.
In light of ABC's pre-Thanksgiving cancellation bloodbath, we also present a mini-rant about one of the network's biggest disappointments, Dirty Sexy Money. We can't believe it's over! Not the show, unfortunately -- the writing has been on the wall regarding DSM's fate for awhile -- but in Nick and Lisa George's marriage. They split in "The Injured Party," but will they reconcile yet again? The TV Geek Out geeks wonder if 30 Rock's Kathy "KISS! KISS! KISS!" Geiss isn't behind Dirty Sexy Money's ridiculous twists.
Check it out here (Dirty Sexy Money starts at 14:37) and don't hesitate to drop us a line at TVGeekOut@gmail.com.

Oh Oh Oh...It Was Magic: R.I.P. Pushing Daisies

Well, we've been discussing the possibility for weeks, but now it's official -- Pushing Daisies' flagging ratings have led to its untimely demise. In probably the most disheartening premature cancellation in years, ABC has axed our beloved series. The happy little show about life and death never failed to deliver exuberant, joyful, human, genuine, fantastically delicious stories, with some of the most original characters and storylines to ever grace the small screen. From charmingly literary names like Olive Snook and Emerson Cod to the endearing characters themselves to the sardonically warm writing, the amazing eye-candy visuals, and everything else that made up the show, Pushing Daisies was the definition of Whimsy, with a capital W. The only consolation is knowing that the immensely talented people involved are likely to follow up their work on the series with similarly impressive projects. We look forward to seeing what Bryan Fuller cooks up next (or, if he returns to Heroes, just how awesome that show could get again); as well as to future appearances on the big and small screens by Lee Pace, Kristin Chenoweth, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Ellen Greene, and Swoosie Kurtz -- and Jim Dale can narrate our TV shows anytime! We're glad we had you in our lives for a while, but Pushing Daisies, you will be greatly missed. You'd better bet we're going to enjoy every minute of the last seven episodes of the series. Stay tuned for more geeky discussions of each and every one.
